Doña Bárbara Unleashed

‘Doña Bárbara Unleashed will be of specific interest to scholars and students working on both Latin American Literature and Culture. Moreover, due its critical engagement with screen adaptation theories, and particularly its way of putting different adaptations of the same source text into dialogue with each other, the monograph will be useful for non-Hispanist scholars and students working on screen adaptations. The monograph’s further engagement with fandom theories and fan comments makes it an attractive and helpful volume for scholars and students working on fandom studies.Jenni Lehtinen (Oxon) is an Assistant Professor at Nazarbayev University, Republic of Kazakhstan.
